There is some weird **** to look out for, if anyone watched the fellow bitwit on his wall mounted PC been there a few times on builds for it to turn out to be some random element and not the things you think.

Well I thought I didn't care, but it turns out I did, all of a sudden this evening I couldn't stand it any longer and had to fit it. 
Had a bit of a scare when it took 5 minutes to boot the first time and then my hard drives weren't showing up... About 30 minutes of panic later and I discovered I had damaged a SATA cable when passing the PCI-E power cable through the motherboard tray...
Played some Borderlands 3, 4K Ultra 75% resolution scaling 60+FPS, Wolfenstein II 4K Ultra 90 - 120FPS.
Installing Fallout 4, and Black Ops Cold War.
Interested to try BOCW because it will be the first new game I try.
But so far GPU has been pegged at 100% and CPU has been sat between 40% and 60%.
Have a not-very-good picture.

Very nice @Acme !

Anyone stuck the fans into 100%? Bloody noisy! Like my card to be kept cool but it's a far harsher sound than my old card. There again, it seems to cool ok without needing 100% anyway.

Hows them results?

Give it a second go just incase it`s a connection issue.
The resizable bar is still a work in progress, unfinished job keep it of until you have your cards up and running.

Ha anyone noticed issues with buzzing? My card has the most awful electrical noise (less coil whine and more like pc speaker white noise) when under load. Also having real strange issues with fire strike but only the first test, completely crashes the computer.
After initial impressions being okay, not real sure about this card.

rdr2 benchmark with no vsync ingame but enhanced vsync in amd settings. 1440p with the xbox one settings guide, ingame i got about 90fps in a grassy area at camp too.

Zero need for DDU even then. It causes more issue than it solves. I only ever go to it if I'm having issues.
So after some head scratching and trouble shooting my undenrvolt was at fault! I have run this confg stable for over a year but the combination of card (much faster than anything else I've ever had) and voltage caused firestrike at 1080p to vomit. Upping Vcore 0.05v fixed the problem!

Undervolt of what? The CPU? RAM?
CPU. I suspect firestrike at 1080p dx 11 with a very fast gpu put more stress on the cpu than my usual workload and previous benches with a 1060 gtx.
The buzzing I reported I’m am not sure is the gpu but actually the Aorus z390 mainboard which had a whine to begin with but seems amplified with this card.
Going to try my old trusty 6700k rig and isolate it. That thing is quiet as a mouse.

Lol, oh well. Its good to hear some of these issues is not in fact the new GPU but people not exploring other avenues / unstable configs / cables etc.

Impressive. Slightly higher than my 1080ti. If only there was a card I could buy to upgrade to!

Whats the old card for reference? I point some nice fans at my old card now to keep it calmer
I like that especially the water, what was the res
